A horrifying crime in a village in Modasa taluka of Aravalli district, Gujarat has shocked the community and triggered widespread outrage after a 13-year-old girl died from severe injuries on her private parts inflicted with a sickle in a brutal attack.

The incident, reported by local authorities and widely covered in media, unfolded when the girl was allegedly assaulted on her private parts by a 35-year-old man familiar to her, according to police.

The victim sustained catastrophic wounds and was rushed for medical care; however, she succumbed to her injuries, deepening grief and anger among residents. The nature of the assault, targeting such a vulnerable part of the child’s body has intensified public shock and condemnation.
